An estimator for pairwise relatedness using molecular markers.
TL;DR: A new estimator for jointly estimating two- and four-gene coefficients of relatedness between individuals from an outbreeding population with data on codominant genetic markers is proposed and compared to previous estimators, the new one is generally advantageous, especially for highly polymorphic loci and/or small sample sizes.

BLUP for phenotypic selection in plant breeding and variety testing
TL;DR: Recent developments in the application of BLUP in plant breeding and variety testing are reviewed, including the use of pedigree information to model and exploit genetic correlation among relatives and theUse of flexible variance–covariance structures for genotype-by-environment interaction.

A field comes of age: geometric morphometrics in the 21 st century
TL;DR: This review describes the Procrustes paradigm and the current methodological toolkit of geometric morphometrics, and highlights some of the theoretical advances that have occurred over the past ten years since the prior review (Adams et al., 2004).

TL;DR: How next generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed their ability to identify the genes underpinning adaptation is summarized to demonstrate how the application of these genomic tools to ecological model species means that the authors can start addressing some of the questions that have puzzled ecological geneticists for decades.
